bratboy1 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hey everyone, My 1991 Legacy L 5MT is pretty sloppy with the gears and I replaced all the bushings and they are still not the greatest. I have been wanting to get a short shift kit for awhile now but can't find any for a first gen legacy! If anyone has used one can you drop me a link or refer me to somewhere that sells them? Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just cut the bracket off the stick that holds the shaft that pushes/pulls out of the gearbox, remount it up higher on the stick/gear lever and hey presto, you’ve got a quick shift setup.

el_freddo Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Also make sure the plastic block at the base of the gear lever is in good condition. If this is sloppy, the rest of the system will be too. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_freddo Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So what shifter mechanism are you using then? Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratboy1 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 The stock legacy shifter mechanism.... the linkage is just cut down a bit and I just welded a bracket to mount it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
